I already have moved to where my SO lives, with no ring and no engagement in site. I actually had issue with this for a while as I left my whole life, my job, my family, everything, to come move to where he lives. And he was showing me signs of fear of commitment. Now I don't want or plan on getting married anytime soon, but the fact that he had never said he wanted to spend his life with me was bothering me. Eventually we had a talk and I did get a commitment statement from him. For me it was just comforting to know.
And I did think of marriage recently for visa purposes. But luckily I was shot down by my family and LFAD before I made any bad decisions!
Totally agree with this!^^ When my SO moved in with me I kept telling him "do this for yourself" and he would always tell me "No, I'm doing it for you." I think that was a main reason he was never truly happy in the States. When I moved down here I was excited for the adventure, happy to improve my Spanish and sure it would help my career (if I ever get a job!!). I didn't just come here for him. I came here for myself. And for us!
